Yankovic, Weird Al - (This Song's Just) Six Words Long Lyrics






This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long

Couldn't think of any lyrics
No I never wrote the lyrics
So I'll just sing any old lyrics
That come to mind, child

You really need words
Whole lotta rhyming words
You gotta rhyme so many words, mm-mm
To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it
To do it, to do it right, child

This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long

I know that you're probably sore
'Cause I didn't write any more
I just didn't get to complete it
So that's why I gotta repeat it

This song is just six words long (six words long)
This song is just six words long (six words long)

Oh I make a lotta money
They pay me a ton of money
They're payin' me plenty of money
To sing this song, child

I gotta fill time
Three minutes worth of time
Oh, how will I fill so much time, mm-mm
I'll throw in a solo, a solo, a solo
A solo, a solo here

This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long

This song's got nothin' to say
But I'm recording it anyway
I know if I put my mind to it
I know I could find a good rhyme here

Oh, you gotta have-a music
You need really catchy music
This song has got plenty of music
But just six words, child

And so I'll sing' em over
And over and over and over
And over and over and over, mm-mm
And over and over and over
And over and over and over again

Six words long, six words long
Six words long, six words long
Six words long, six words long

This song is just six words long
It's just six words long

    Al is a cunt. "this song is just 6 words long" is actually a 7-word phrase and it makes to difference he shortened it in the title. There also other lyric in the song than that phrase.

    N.... C....

    Sorry, could you repeat that?

  6. W.... C....

    This song is just six nerds long, this song is just six nerds long :D

  7. P.... ....

    Weird Al describes the modern music industry...

  8. G.... B....

    It wasn't until like 25 years after I had heard this masterpiece that I finally heard George Harrison's song, and as soon as I did I broke down laughing so hard I cried.

    G.... B....

    What makes Al's parodies so amazing is that he writes them so that, even if you haven't heard the original, you can still appreciate the song.
    Critics often say "Al just mocks others, he does no originals". I think that Al's parodies are an example of great songwriting: no vulgar language, funny, creative within the bounds of the original songs. (BTW, I know that Al does original songs, too)

  9. C.... ....

    When you hear the real song that he parodied and realize it really was six words long 😂😂😂

  10. S.... K....

    Not gonna lie no idea what song this is supposed to be

    S.... K....

    The original "Got My Mind Set On You" by George Harrison repeats the chorus "set on you" many, many, MANY times. Weird Al is mocking that, as well as "writer's block" in the songwriting process.

    S.... K....

    ​@Sideswip Kicker "Got My Mind Set on You" was originally written by Rudy Clark and recorded by James Ray in 1962 to very little fanfare.

    Former Beatle George Harrison released a cover of it in 1987, and it became a #1 hit. That was not long before Weird Al released the 1988 "Even Worse" album that contains this track.


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_71w4UA2Oxo

    Weird Al's "Even Worse" album was a parody of Michael Jackson's "Bad" album, and it contains a song called "Fat" that is a parody of the Michael Jackson title track "Bad."

  11. J.... L....

    Proof Al's actually a fucking genius musician

  12. J.... A....

    My favorite weird al song. I love that the chorus is 7 words, saying it's only six. There can only be one weird al.

  13. J.... ....

    This is every song nowadays

    J.... ....

    Popular music started to really hit a low in 2003 when "In Da Club" was a huge hit... It hasn't recovered since

    J.... ....

    Y'know weird al still nakes music lol what a dumb thing to say there is so much good music being made

  14. G.... ....

    He’s singing about the song ITSELF!!!

    G.... ....

    I assume you never listened to Smells Like Nirvana and Achy Breaky Song, right?

  15. P.... 3....

    Man was this song ahead of its time

    P.... 3....

    🎵Man this song was AHEAD OF ITS TIME🎵
    🎵Man this song was AHEAD OF ITS TIME🎵
    🎵Man this song was AHEAD OF ITS TIME🎵
    🎵Man this song was AHEAD OF ITS TIME🎵
    😄😄😄

  16. C.... ....

    Ha ha ha. My nine year old daughter keeps yelling " No it's seven words long not six !"

  17. A.... W....

    This song is 🔥 though

  18. N.... ....

    George Harrison was the last thing I expected from this

  19. T.... ....

    "Oh, right. The poison. The poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison."

  20. T.... ....

    "Do you smell it? That smell. A kind of smelly smell. The smelly smell that smells... smelly."

  21. G.... T....

    This comment's just six words long

    G.... T....

    @Spam singles Without the name so is yours.

    G.... T....

    @Matthew Holthouse If you said "without", your's would be too

    G.... T....

    @Spam singles Okay. You are right thank you.

    G.... T....

    Hey, and so is this one!

  22. T.... ....

    He could have filled three minutes of music time without the solo. The solo was not that long.

  23. T.... ....

    I used to tease people, "I can make a song last only three seconds: 'This song is just six words long.'"

  24. R.... B....

    I was introduced to Weird Al because of this album when it was new. Weird Al helped me get through my childhood. Who would have thought he would still be making great music up til now (2019). I think this is my favorite album of his although all of them are amazing! Thanks Al, for the last 30+ years of making music only a genius can make

  25. A.... P....

    this isn't just a *parody* of got my mind set on you.
    it's *ABOUT* the song.

    A.... P....

    Actually, it is a parody. As with many of Mr. Yankovic's songs, the source material is joked about, however.

    A.... P....

    @BenDoesThings "isn't *just* a parody"

    A.... P....

    A beautiful interplay between form and content

  26. L.... H....

    he lied

    L.... H....

    No fuk u

  27. -.... B....

    I know if I put my mind to it
    I know I could find a good rhyme here

    The whole song's funny. But that's my favorite part.

    -.... B....

    My favorite is " I gotta fill time, three minutes worth of time. Oh, how will I fill so much time. Hmmmm, I'll throw in a solo, a solo, a solo, a solo, a solo here!"

  28. S.... M....

    Not everybody knows that Harrison's song wasn't original. It's a cover of a 1963 song by James Ray: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k68Fob0QA_k

  29. g.... h....

    this song made me very angry as soon as he sang something other than “this song’s just six words long”

  30. s.... ....

    Liar, it isn't six words long. If it was it would be instrumental except for the title.

    s.... ....

    Hey how bout fuk u

    s.... ....

    r/woooooosh

  31. A.... ....

    9000 anyone?

    A.... ....

    What, 9000? There's no way that can be right.

  32. A.... ....

    This song is more than 6 words long

    A.... ....

    It sure is. He's a liar.

    A.... ....

    Hey how abut fuck you gai

    A.... ....

    true that

  33. M.... M....

    Weird Al being Weird Al would probably claim 6 words & a number.
    Anyone in central Wisconsin would tell you that polox are weird.
    'Specially kathlik polox.

    Hey! Kathlik Polox would be a great name for a band!
    A band that does punk rock & polkas. Or punk polkas.

    M.... M....

    Do you mean ............. Catholic Polaks ?? ie Polish People ??
    Or Catholic People who play Polo in central Wisconsin !!

  34. t.... ....

    The sad thing is that as sillily stupid as this chorus is, it's still more complex and creative than Rihanna, who seems to have decided this is a good chorus: "Cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake"

    t.... ....

    "Oh I'll make a ton of money"

    t.... ....

    worworworworworwor

  35. r.... f....

    Weird al is the best 😁

  36. L.... G....

    This is the one couple of times for me that the parody is better

    L.... G....

    Really? Its not his best but it's still a good song

  37. S.... I....

    To everyone saying “this song has 7 words.” Although it does, technically, have 7 words, it was intended to be that way. In the original song titled ‘Got My Mind Set On You’ the chorus adds an extra word which is ‘I’ . So, the chorus goes “I Got My Mind Set On You,” which has 7 words. So, in retrospect, Al is so good at parodying songs that none of you realised how good he really is.

    S.... I....

    @R F And so is the original song's title. But in this parody, the lyrics are "This song *is* just 6 words long." So it actually fits even better.

    S.... I....

    About how good he is, you confuse him with James @ War... Al IS a cunt "parodiest".

    S.... I....

    i mean, u try'n bruh -

    S.... I....

    @Kaote Bruche'Daine bruh, this is weird Al you're talking about

  38. T.... C....

    Don't get me wrong, I *love* The Beatles as much as anyone else does. George Harrison was always the most underrated of the group, but I wasn't feeling it with "Got My Mind Set On You" personally. This parody pretty much sums up why.

    RIP Harrison (and Lennon)

    T.... C....

    Cloud 9 was an amazing record. George had originally planned to record the song as early as the early 80s.

    T.... C....

    I actually really enjoyed the song despite the fact it's very simple

    T.... C....

    George didn't write it

    T.... C....

    That's why, when Weird Al gets asked to do a tribute to George Harrison, he goes with "What Is Life" rather than this song or the original.

  39. M.... M....

    this cock is just 6 inches long

  40. G.... ....

    I'm going to write my own parody: "This Sub Is Just One Foot Long".

    G.... ....

    But it won't be as good as this one.

    G.... ....

    It could be, it would just have to be well written.

    G.... ....

    J O Y C O N B O Y Z

    G.... ....

    Hey that's pretty similar to my parody "My Dick Is Just One Foot Long".

  41. C.... S....

    I can't believe George Harrison Ok'ed this but you know he did or Al would not have released it

    C.... S....

    Weird al doesn't need his songs to be ok'ed by the artists that he parodies...he does let them know before he releases the songs just to be courteous though, only a few didn't want their songs parodied (like coolio) but doesn't matter, legally he doesn't need their permission

    C.... S....

    @LookAtNow Harrison was covering the original by James Ray: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k68Fob0QA_k

    C.... S....

    @Lou G He won't do a song if they don't want it though. Coolio said he could, but after the song came out, for some reason he decided he hated it. There was an interview where Weird Al said that he tried to get a Prince song, but Prince didn't want it, so he didn't. He very easily could have just done it anyways, but he didn't. I can't remember what interview it was, but if I did, I would give you the link.

    C.... S....

    @Tpathrules yeah, that was the one I seen, he doesn't need permission

    C.... S....

    It wasn't George Harrison's song originally. George's version is a cover. The original is by James Ray

  42. M.... S....

    At least he's honest

  43. s.... f....

    I think it is

  44. m.... ....

    But he says "This song *is* just six words long." That's seven.

    m.... ....

    @Tina Aoro no it's six because this SONG'S just six words long

    m.... ....

    That's the joke

    m.... ....

    I know that you're probably sore, 'cos he didn't write any more.

    m.... ....

    The line "This song is just seven words long" doesn't work syllabicly to mirror the original "I got my mind set on you" lyric.
